DEEP ROOTS
For The Woman Ready To Reclaim Her Power & Cultivate Deep Roots Mind, Body, Spirit.
Saturday 1st February 2025
Wonnarua Nation, Hunter Valley NSW
If you were a garden...
Your body would be the vessel in which growth, full bloom, decay, death and renewal occur over and over again.
When you look to nature, you don't question this process.
But when you experience intensity, rapture, 'depression', or another round of the thing you thought you'd healed already, you do.
If this feels familiar, Deep Roots is for you.
It's time to put down the self-help books and co-dependance with being told what to do (and when and how), and experience something genuine.
If you desire to walk through life with absolute trust in what you're experiencing AND the season you're in, no matter what, apply to join Deep Roots now.
Does this sound familiar?
You read books, listen to podcasts, and study multiple modalities to better understand yourself and why you do what you do yet..
You continue to feel disconnected and disembodied sometimes for days or weeks.
When it comes to experiencing your emotions, your head interferes with stories that keep you from remaining connected to your felt experience.
When people share their hardships or frustrations with you, you feel an overwhelming responsibility to manage or fix their experience.
You look very closely at yourself and what you can be doing different to improve your relationships, connections, and limitations.
You struggle to show up fully and truthfully express what you're thinking or feeling without apology, over-explanation, or dilution.
You want to feel more connected to your intuition and rhythmic nature as a woman but often feel something prevents you from fully claiming this.
You feel exhausted and depleted even though you're taking great care of yourself.
Guarding your heart and holding back your truth
'Taking too long' to cry and shaming yourself into disembodiment
You're still interefering with your timing, rhythm, and flow.
You experience shame or doubt around being a woman who feels and has great depth.
You're still telling yourself stories or judging yourself for past experiences or versions of yourself.
Don't ask for what you want or need when you want it or need it.
You make too many assumptions
AND YOU'RE READY FOR THAT TO CHANGE
What is Deep Roots?
Deep Roots is a day Retreat for women to come intentionally into community, workshop, and embodied experience, to reclaim and upgrade their FEMININE DEPTH & CAPACITY by healing and celebrating their experience of being a feeling and intuitive woman.
The day consists of workshops, embodiment work, ceremony, reflection, and co-collaboration where, each individual woman contributes to the experience of the whole community.
You're invited to re-member the power of the healed feminine wisdom and ways, and to cultivate deep roots for a more peaceful and balanced interior and way of being with yourself and the whole.
The most crucial element of Deep Roots is that each woman comes prepared to take complete responsibility for herself and her experience.
Deep Roots is facilitated in a healed feminine way, where we journey with reverence for the path each woman has walked that has shaped her understanding and beliefs about herself and the world at large.
A woman committed to cultivating deep roots, is a discerning & powerful woman.
IS A WOMAN WHO BENDS WITHOUT BREAKING
Deep Roots will help you:
Identify and upgrade conscious and unconscious limitations of self-facilitation processes, practices, and ways of being with emotional energy (both yours and others). Remember what it feels like to feel your feelings all the way through without apology.
Make sense of why you do what you do to protect, interfere, fix, deflect, or minimise your emotional experience, needs, and intuitive experiences as a woman.
Witness yourself, and expand your permission field through the shared words, stories, and experiences of other women.
Upgrade your relationship with your current emotional and intuitive experiences.
Increase your capacity and ability to stay connected with yourself and others as you express yourself fully. To know where your emotional process starts and ends as to not create or perpetuate shame-spiralling, powerlessness, or suffering. Cultivate Deep Roots.
Deep Roots Can Only Form Over Time & In The Right Environment.
Who Is Deep Roots For?
Deep Roots is day retreat that has been formulated to serve and support women who often feel or are moving through seasons of disembodiment, disconnection, shut down, and closure - mind, body, spirit.
The framework I use is a product of my 10 year journey back to my body and is here to bring you the very container, experience, and journey needed to tend to your emotional waters.
This is a day of making sense of why you do what you do when it comes to feeling or not.
clearing out, remembering, and restoring.
Please understand that the power of any container is not solely on the shoulders of those who curate it. It is on all who participate which means your willingness to bring an open mind, open heart, and willing body, is paramount.
Furthermore, we do this in the healed feminine way - where we each come responsible for ourselves and our needs. It will be expected that you practice this way of being as part of your experience.
Yes, this experience may feel uncomfortable at times and, building a beautiful relationship with all parts of you is often a very uncomfortable undertaking. All the masks and ornamentations need to fall off before anything genuine can be witnessed. It's messy and medicinal.
Ellen has worked in the healing arts for over 10 years gathering women, facilitating ceremony, and curating exquisite, unmatched, and safe healing experiences and retreats.
This is a trauma-informed space and if you're willing to participate, the door is wide open for you.
Ask yourself, does this support the life I'm trying to create?

Too much interference can disturb growing conditions.
There is a natural timing, flow, and rhythm to you and your inner world -
Fertiliser for the Soul.
Your body would be the soil in which you grow, bloom, decay, die, and renew, over and over again.
When you look to nature, you don't question this process.
But when you're experiencing intensity, rapture, 'depression', or another round of the thing you thought you'd healed already, you do.
If this feels familiar, Deep Roots is for you.
It's time to put down the self-help books and co-dependance with 'permission' and external validation, and tend to the soil in which you live.
DEEP ROOTS CAN ONLY FORM IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT.

Let me paint a picture for you..
You've finally arrived,
birdsong in earshot,
and the strength of the land beneath your feet.
You park your car,
take a deep breath,
and remember the powerful work you’ve already completed with Ellen to arrive here.
Now it’s time to dig deep,
you’re ready,
excited even,
and in this moment you make a commitment to yourself
to participate fully and leave nothing on the table.
You remember you’re here with intention and purpose,
and it’s all part of the path you're walking.
As you walk to the entrance,
you remember how held you are by the unseen,
and proceed to greet the sisters you’ll be journeying with today.
...
The sun begins to set,
and you’ve walked through the fire,
remembered the depth of your spirit,
and the power of feeling fully.
You're sitting on the earth feeling deeply held,
tears pricking the corners of your eyes
because you did it —
You acknowledge theres much to integrate and continue walking with,
still, you take a moment to honour yourself for completing the work that
you know will continue to hold and support you
and everything connected to you,
for years to come.
Upon saying your goodbyes,
you’re blown away by the hearts of the women before you.
You’ve made some lifelong connections here,
ones you know will stand the tests of time.
On your drive home you can’t help but notice the space inside.
There's so much you’re no longer carrying,
and now your ready to leverage how powerful and open you feel.
Look out world.
You revel in the roots growing deep within your being as you sing songs and dance your way back into your little corner of the world feeling weightless.
deep roots within your emotional world.

Welcome to Weightless, Sister.
Weightless is a full day retreat experience for women who want a safe & powerful container to tend to their emotional waters.
You'll be guided through multiple somatic experiences and workshops designed to offer clear insights, resources, conscious catharsis, & practical tools to walk on with.
In a world that doesn't teach you how to feel, Weightless is your safe and sacred space to experience and develop your emotional capacity and acuity.
This is so much more than being able to identify what you're feeling.
This experience will restore primal life force & creative energies, and develop your capacity to feel, heal, and connect with yourself, life, and others deeply.
On the other side of this Retreat is a weightlessness that will bring your world into clear and amplified focus.
From Head To Heart
This is not a 'gentle' space however it is also not without extreme care and tenderness.
Through your willingness to cultivate a powerful and loving relationship with your emotional field, you unwittingly contribute to the kind of world we all long to experience - connected, compassionate, and able to meet and love people where they are.
A world where each human being is responsible for their own emotional experience.
A world where projection is less and less and healthy expression is more and more.
A world where we can hold others powerfully because emotionally, we can hold ourselves.
Weightless is very much like lighting a match in a dark place only to realise you don't have to be afraid.
You're not only going to learn how to stay with your emotional experience, but how to not become enmeshed with others.
It doesn't matter how many years you've been on the healing and feeling path, there is always space to come into your body and have a new experience.
Weightless won't be without discomfort and that's the point. It is here to walk you directly into the and teach you, through direct experience, that your discomfort is.
Remember, unfelt, suppressed and repressed emotional energy distorts your ability to see clearly both yourself and others.
It also influences every part of your experience especially your physical energy and body.
Your weightless experience will support you to discharge your emotional energy, track tension patterns in your body, and bring you into deeper relationship and respect for your emotional world.
What Is Conscious Catharsis & Why?
Conscious catharsis is 'feeling' done in a way that honours your timing.
This means your feeling process is not forced.
Many women I've worked with over my 10 years of doing this work, experienced a lack of patience and time in their early childhood environments.
This means they learned to hold themselves instead of how to feel.
Additionally, they experienced emotional neglect or abandonment and this shaped how they relate to their emotional experiences.
Your relationship to your emotional world is perhaps the most important one of all, as it touches and influences every single part of your life, and the lives of those you love.
Conscious catharsis is not just something we do on Retreat, it's how we process emotional material in the real world of every day life, caring for our kids, navigating relationships, and servicing the world through our heart-led businesses.
This is a skill that offers human beings the capacity to not only navigate and process their emotional experiences, but hold others in theirs too - beyond enmeshment, fixing, saving, and interfering.
The number one thing most of us needed as we were growing up, was emotional presence and attunement - which in turn offered safety and space to feel fully.
Weightless offers you the space, environment, and facilitator (Ellen), to re-learn, re-member, and relate powerfully to your emotional world.
No matter where you're coming in from, as long as you're willing, you stand to gain so much from this experience.
Your Facilitator
Read this
To fully grasp if this experience is for you or not.
G'day,
I'm Ellen, and I'm no stranger to the art of curating deep healing and transformational experiences.
The first thing I want to know when I'm exploring experiences like this for myself is, who will be holding the floor for me, and do they have the capacity, experience, and humility I most require to journey at the level and depths at which they promise to take me.
Within these words, I intend to reveal to you exactly who I am, what my limits are, and by doing so, intend to reveal if this is an experience for you or not.
The most important thing for you to know is that integrity is one of my highest values in life. And while I am human and still learning, I acknowledge my limitations.
I am not a Somatic Psychotherapist, Psychologist, or Physician of any sort.
It's important you know this.
It's also important to note the limitations of all modalities and certifications as they do not automatically equal legitimacy or capacity.
Weightless is not a traditional or diagnostic experience, nor does it intend to offer you diagnostic tools or conventional resources to apply to your life.
Instead, it is a wholistic and spirited framework that blends therapeutic and somatic modalities to initiate participants onto a path of maturation within their inner and emotional worlds.
Through journeying very deep within my own trauma, wounding, and shadows, I've come to see the gaps created by a culture that separates the human from the truer healing - feeling.
Weightless has been created to gift women the same experiences, initiations, wisdom, and insights that I have come to know, embody, and breathe.
My intention with Weightless is to create a safe, powerful, and intimate space for women to connect and restore access to their felt experience, unburden the emotional body and therefore the physical, and offer them a way to also heal the parts and wounds that restrict and limit their feeling capacity.
I understand how important legitimacy is in this day and age and in spaces such as this.
Please rest assured that while this space may not be for everyone, it will be facilitated and held with deep intention, reverence, and recognition for where you are entering in from.
My more formal qualifications include a 60-hour certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy that I have integrated deeply, along with a 9-month certification in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) with Soul, not completed in a single weekend.
But it's not what will hold you here.
My years of experience and traveling miles beneath my own skin into the depths where most are unwilling to go, is what I'll be leveraging to hold the floor for you.
My primary role is to guide you across the threshold and confirm the wisdom already within you.
You can learn more about me, explore my work, and feel into my energy on Instagram @circleoflifewithellen or tune into my podcast The Circle of Life with Ellen, available on all platforms.
If you have any concerns, questions, or the like, please don't hesitate to reach me at hello@ellentravassaros.com.
